Happy Friday everyone! I hope you are looking forward to a great weekend. I know I am. I have been working on this card for a few days and finally got it finished. This is another cute image from Sherri Baldy. This is Two Clever Chole. I thought she was just too cute. I decided to do a center-step card this time and I used Glossy Accents on her glasses and Diamond Stickles on the flowers in her hair and on her dress. Here is a close-up where you can see this. It doesn't show up on the other picture.

It's time to play Bingo at Paper Crafting Journey. This the new challenge that starts today. You just need to pick three items from the bingo card either vertical, horizontal or diagonal. And don't forget to tell us what three items you used. Here is the bingo card:

And we have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge. And that is Sassy Studio Designs. For my card I used Carrie Sassy.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock - CS is SU and DP is My Mind's Eye

Image - Sassy Studio Designs

Die Cuts - Spellbinder Oval and Scallop Oval

Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug

Lace/Ribbon, Gems and Flower - from my stash

Here is a close up of the embossing. It is not showing up too good in the first photo.﻿

﻿For my DT card I used a stamp from Melonheadz that is called Dr. Seuss Cupcake. I thought it would make a great birthday card. I didn't start out to make this a two color card, but that is what it ended up with. It had circles/dots on the bottom of the cupcake and then I added dots on the icing.

Now it is time for you to hop on over to the Creative Craft Challenges 2 blog and check out what the rest of the Design Team has created. Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog and have a blessed day.

I'm sorry I am a little late getting this posted, but I had a family emergency and that came first. On Thursday Paper Crafting Journey started a new challenge and the theme is "Love". We have another great sponsor for this challenge and that is Saturated Canary. The winner gets 2 digi's of their choice. How cool is that? For my DT card I used Love Letters from Saturated Canary.
